The factors to consider are always dependent on various aspects of the project. However , when it comes to human factors , I think can be summarized in 3 :

Culture, considering the characteristics of the cultures present in the stakeholders.
Communication, taking into account the different communication styles of stakeholders .
Motivation , seek the reasons for good performance of the project team to strengthen or get them.

An analysis of human factors to be controlled is essential.

I agree. 360 degree communication is one of the most, if not the most important human factors in project management as we PM's deal with people and their processes and tools so communication is important.

For me, collaboration is very important as well as team members needs to be able to cooperatively and mutually own and support team member decisions and agree to disagree on certain decisions. Collaboration is very important in teamwork.

Negotiation is very important as team members usually have diverse ideas, perspectives, opinion on how to approach or complete certain tasks. It is important that the PM has the negotiating skills so that members will be able to have a healthy discussion of different viewpoints and listen to the merits and demerits of each point of view rationally.
